"locks down" an operating system, proactively configuring the system for increased security and decreasing its susceptibility to compromise. Bastille can also assess a system's current state of hardening, granularly reporting on each of the security setti
a fast, scalable and memory-efficient allocator for multiprocessors. Hoard solves the heap contention problem caused when multiple threads call dynamic memory allocation functions like malloc() and free() (or new and delete).
index of information and documentation of interest to those who now use or are considering using the Linux operating system on a notebook or laptop computer.

This page list codes for accented letters and other characters. In order to use these codes, your computer should have a separate numeric keypad on the right.
a Linux-like environment for Windows. A way to run native linux apps on Windows and make way to magically make native Windows apps aware of UNIX ® functionality after a rebuild.
lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk.
The UWIN package allows UNIX applications to be built and run on Windows XP/2000/NT/ME/98/95 with few, if any, changes necessary. UWIN source and binaries are available under the open source Common Public License 1.0.
If your windows installation has issues, or for some other unmentionable reason is unable to get updates from the windows server, this is what you need to do.
Learn how you can use Virtual Server 2005 R2, now available as a free download, to increase hardware utilization and enable faster deployments of new servers.
The obvious question is: should you be considering a move to 64-bit Windows? In this article, we will explore the answer to this question. We will discuss the advantages of 64-bit Windows over 32-bit, talk about a few concepts, and get some tips...
a simple and failsafe way to create complete virtual machines for VMware Player on the web. Install any Windows, Linux, BSD or Solaris, and test live-CDs in a safe environment.
You'll find plain-English information here about using Linux on a personal computer or on a shell account provided by your ISP. After a brief history and overview of Linux, you'll find a concise and occasionally light-hearted treatment of these topics.
Parallel I/O continues to be a topic of active development. Recent years have seen the creation of many new options. Even with these new choices, certain factors remain constant. Parallel applications need a fast I/O subsystem.
a free NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server, supporting: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, RSYNC protocols, local user authentication, Software RAID (0,1,5) with a Full WEB configuration interface. FreeNAS takes less than 32MB...
designed to be used by Unix distribution developers, package developers, and system implementors. Intended to be a reference, not a tutorial on how to manage a Unix filesystem or directory hierarchy.
powerful x86 virtualization (similar to VMWare) runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh and OpenSolaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), Solaris and OpenSolaris, and OpenBSD.
explores a novel interface to a system administration task. Instead of creating an interface de novo for the task, the author modified a popular computer game, Doom, to perform useful work.
a collection of utilities and technical information related to Windows internals by Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell. Microsoft acquired Sysinternals in July, 2006.
Need a boot disk for your Windows machine? There are essentially seven steps to create a bootable DVD or bootable UFD (USB Flash Drive), all of which are command line based, this article tries to simplify all the information needed
aims to implement functions (not present on Windows 98 / ME) to kernel32.dll and other system libraries so that recent Windows XP applications and games work on Windows 98 / ME. (requires Windows 98 FE or Windows 98 SE or Windows ME)
Having only the services you need running will make your system faster, more stable and secure. So the first thing you need to do after installing a Linux distribution is to manually edit the list of enabled services.
implements Windows kernel API and NDIS API within Linux kernel. A Windows driver for wireless network card is then linked to this implementation so that the driver runs natively, as though it is in Windows, without binary emulation.
This document explores methods for squeezing excess bytes out of simple programs. (Of course, the more practical purpose of this document is to describe a few of the inner workings of the ELF file format and the Linux operating system. But hopefully you can also learn something about how to make really teensy ELF executables in the process.)
on these pages you will find many screen shots of various desktop computer Graphical User Interfaces and operating systems. Many different people have had different ideas of how a GUI should work and these screen shots show many of the more popular ones.
